A Firearm’s “Safety” Mechanism
Don’t be afraid to ask if you don’t know how
a firearm works
never trust the safety mechanism
safety prevents the gun from firing
safety could fail

Rifles and Shotguns
Uses expanding gas from burning powder
to force a bullet or shot out of the muzzle
main difference in shotgun and rifle is
found inside the barrel
shotgun bore(inside of barrel) is thin and
smooth
rifle bore are thicker and have grooves that
spiral around the bore

Rifles and Shotguns
Grooves are called rifling
spins the bullet making it more accurate
caliber of a rifle is determined by
measuring the width of the bore
shotgun sizes are given in gauges
gauge is usually marked on the rear of the
barrel

Rifles and Shotguns
Always use the correct gauge shell in the
same gauged shotgun(12-gauge shell in a
12-gauge shotgun
rifle and shotguns are usually identified by
their bore sizes and action designs.
Action is the part that moves cartridges orshotshells into the chamber( loads,
unloads and ejects ammunition)

semi-automatic
bolt action

standing-most difficult
kneeling-forms tripod
sitting-forms tripod
prone-most stable

.22 caliber bullet (rimfire) can be
dangerous at a mile or more
centerfire bullets(.30-30, .30-06, etc.) can
be dangerous at more than 3 1/2 miles

Shotguns
Several gauges
10,12,16,20,28 and .410 are most common
smaller the number the larger the bore
![Page 15: Hunter Education a Fireman's Safety Mechanism](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022021301/577cdb4c1a28ab9e78a7db39/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Shotgun Choke
Determines the spread or pattern of the
shot after it leaves the barrel
Three kinds:
full- most constricted
modified- less constricted
improved cylinder- less than modified
cylinder choke- no constriction, shot
spreads quickly

Shotgun Range
Not a long range gun
depends on the shotshell
average is within 45 yards

Ammunition
Divided into two categories
• cartridges- handguns and rifles
• shotshells- shotguns
Primary components of cartridges
• case
• primer
– centerfire or rimfire
• smokeless powder
• bullet
